To answer your question Steig - be happy your money is not flying out of your pockets lol. I don't like the commercialism and pressures that come with Valentines Day and every other holiday. I went to my local drug store yesterday to get my daughter her class valentines - again pressure to comply with everyone else. So I'm there looking for those individual chocolates and guess what was on the shelves - easter candy - how ridiculous is that!!! It's all about spending money and competing with what we think we should do. I feel sorry mostly for the men - can they live up to the pressure? Will their women be happy with what they come up with or be disappointed. How many women(not all) compare what they get to their friends gifts and get mad at their partners for it. Did you know the prices of chocolate and roses are sky high just because it's Valentines Day - same thing with dinner on that day. I think people should be smart and rebel - have a home cooked meal at home with some chocolate covered strawberries. Even strawberries will be sky high this weekend. I just don't like the commercialism and the ways it makes us feel forced to spend money.
